Spring and Autumn I Am King

On the second day after seeing the Marquis of Lu, Zhao Wuxi set off and began to return to Linqiu.

Compared to when they came, there were fewer Zifu He, less Feng Rin, and a few more clever warriors in the team.

Because of Zhao Wuxi's various performances, Zifu He has been convinced that he favors Sanhuan. This makes Yanghu afraid of Jinqing's interference and does not dare to act rashly. He can also have a partial teacher in Xibi, and he will act as a leader in the future. Zhao Wuxi was the messenger who communicated with San Huan, especially the Meng family.

Feng Rin, on the other hand, lurked in a house secretly given by Yang Hu in Lucheng as a messenger for Zhao Wuxi and Yang Hu.

As for the other soldiers, they were arranged by Zhao Wuxi to buy a house near Lilu, where Xiao Xianglu and Gongshuban lived, and were responsible for secret protection.

At first, Zhao Wuxi also had some concerns: "Everyone has their own special life trajectory. If you hurriedly put these two boys in your pocket, will they change their interests, hobbies, and expertise?"

However, there may be turmoil in Qufu until the turn of October. If there is any damage to these two people, Zhao Wuxi will also regret it. Anyway, sooner or later, his change in history will turn from a trickle into a river of great soup. Simply stop looking ahead.

"Sanhuan promised to send two hundred craftsmen to Linqiu in a few days. I might as well propose that the entire Gongshu clan should also serve me, and take the Gongshu class with him. As for Xiang Lu, it is an accessory of this trip to Qufu. You still have to think differently.”

There are many, and there are many, naturally Confucius and his disciples.

Zilu of Heguan was driving the car, and the simple Yan Hui served by Confucius' side. Zai Yu, who was once scolded by Confucius as "dead wood can't be carved", brought several soldiers from the central capital and escorted them to the east of Lucheng. The few truckloads of grain that arrived were mixed with the shirtless train line.

Zhao Wuxi invited Confucius to go with him and had his own plans. The two of them enjoyed the conversation yesterday at Liuxiaji's mansion, and they didn't hate each other. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, and I didn't talk about Lu's political affairs and Yanghu and Sanhuan's back.

But that's fine, if you don't talk about state affairs, you can talk about academics. Seeing Confucius and Yan Hui, the two wise men of the Spring and Autumn Period, look at each other after hearing the saying of "checking things for knowledge", with convincing and curiosity in their eyes. Wu Xie suddenly felt that this idle chess move that wanted to "invisibly influence" early Confucianism might really play a role.

Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage, Zhao Wushen pondered, "Anyway. If the concept of 'gaiwuzhizhi' that has not yet been proposed can be secretly replaced, so that the ancestors of Confucianism have a little interest in the surrounding nature from the very beginning, It is also a blessing for the future.”

Reshaping China's civilization in adolescence and adding fresh blood from the wisdom of thousands of years later is not a task that Zhao Wuxi can accomplish alone. He needs to take advantage, and he needs help.

Whether Zhao Wuxi wants it or not, he has to admit that compared to the decadent aristocrats and uncivilized commoners in this era, Confucius and his disciples are indeed the most knowledgeable and educated people in the new scholar class... …

When the clan fell, the scholars rose, and hundreds of schools did not flourish, but Confucianism took the lead. It can only be cultivated among the Confucian disciples who are mixed with fish and dragons. Anyway, there are a lot of people in it, such as Yan Hui and Zeng Dian, since they are not engaged in political affairs, they are idle all day long.

As for those who were involved in politics and military affairs, Zhao Wuxi wanted to take the method of direct excavation, but before that, he had to inquire about the attitude of Confucius.

...

Confucius and Yan Hui also had a conversation when the motorcade was resting in the cottages along the way.

Confucius took the water jug ​​that Yan Hui held in both hands and took a sip. After wiping off the water droplets on the tendrils, he said earnestly: "Go back, you looked at the bamboo outside the window all night last night. Today, when the car is running, you look up at the clouds and clouds, and when you park, you look at the insects, fish, birds and beasts. what's wrong?"

Yan Hui bowed his head and said, "Hui is not ashamed of poverty, but ignorance. Although, as Dr. Zhao said, there is precedence in hearing, and there are specialties in art, but when Hui encounters things that he does not know, he will. I want to understand thoroughly. I was stumped by the boy's question yesterday, and was inspired by Dr. Zhao's saying that "seeing things leads to knowledge", so I wanted Gezhu, Geyun, Gebird and beasts out of my own power. already."

Confucius said with a smile: "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who enjoy themselves. It's a good thing that you are interested in the theory of knowledge and knowledge. How can you be a teacher? Can you gain something?"

Yan Hui shook his head regretfully: "Nothing has been gained, and looking for knowledge is really very human. You must have the foundation of study like Dr. Zhao, and you must have inspiration to explode. The reason."

Doctor Bian Que's reputation was also very famous in the state of Lu. His deeds that he stayed in Jin state to study the disease because of Zhao Wuxi's "theory of the disease caused by fine worms" has been passed on to Qilu through the mouths of Zigong and others or through slips. It is also one of the evidences that Zhao Wuxi is proficient in the method of "checking things to know".

Confucius, who was tireless in teaching others, said: "I have tasted that I will not eat all day long, sleep all night, and think that it is useless, so it is better to learn it. Instead of being in a daze, you might as well find an opportunity to ask Dr. Zhao for advice, at least to get the long-awaited number of Zhou Bi first. I understand, if there is a chance, I can worship him as a teacher."

Yan Hui paused again: "Hui only has the Master as a teacher, how can I ask others to learn from others?"

Confucius shook his head and said, "That's absurd. When I was young, I was humble. I used to enter the imperial temple, and I learned the basic etiquette from the emcees of Lu. When I was older, I learned from Tanzi, Changhong and Shixiang. , Old Dan."

"Yijun Tanzi taught me the history and allusions of Yili and the kingdom of Shaohao; Changhong taught me astronomy, geography, deduction of the astrological calendar and "Yi"; Qi Taishixiang taught me to play the qin and rhythm, but I don't know the taste of meat in March; Dan told me the way of life and the world, so people often say that I am an impermanent teacher. Today, I met Dr. Zitai, although he is still young, but he has a formidable future. No matter how old you are, what worries do you have to be from a noble family?"

Regarding Zhao Wuxi's "learning by examining things", although his ancestors described Suiren, Fuxi and Shennong, they are not the same as Yao, Shunyu, King Wen, and Duke Zhou who were admired by Confucius, but they are also based on ancient words and modern, eager to learn Confucius. This idea is not exclusive, but it is not completely accepted. He still felt that respect and etiquette were the most important things in life. As for learning about things, it was just a hobby such as learning the piano and sword.

Confucius simply invited three students and publicly declared to them: "Although I don't fully agree with some of Dr. Zhao's ideas. But a gentleman is different. His speech and demeanor are very high-spirited and won my heart. Ziyou wrote to Dr. Zhao that The self-proclaimed madman in Zhongdu is the one who is willing to associate with his teacher. It is a pity that I am old, and I cannot travel with him when I am 30 years younger. "

Yan Hui was thoughtful. Zi Lu nodded heavily, looking handsome, while Zai Yu, who was wearing a long crown and deep robes, had bright eyes.

He said: "Master, I see that Doctor Zhao owns two towns. The soldiers are heroic and strong, and they have great ambitions to manage and grow. However, I also know a little about the situation of these two towns. Gong is now working under him, and he must have not less preached the Master's learning. Since he invited the Master to go with him, he probably also wants to recruit some disciples in the sect, and this is our opportunity!"

Zai Yu was eloquent and eloquent, and was a disciple of Confucius. He was second only to Zigong in terms of "words", so this time he went to Lucheng to ask Fei Zaigongshan Buju and others for corn in order to gain something.

However, Zai Yu's shortcomings are as obvious as his advantages. He disapproves of many aspects of Confucius' study, such as the three-year filial piety and benevolent government, and he does not respect Confucius very much. During the day, he would fall asleep in class, and often asked some strange questions to embarrass the teacher, so Confucius often criticized him.

Sure enough, Zai Yu's eager utilitarian heart made Confucius slightly unhappy. He criticized Zai Yu and said: "Hurry up and seek profit!"

However, Zai Yu was right. Right at the end of his words, Zhao Wuxi brought his entourage over to Confucius, offering cool water and greetings.

...

Talking and communicating is a skill, and it’s not good to get straight to the point, so Zhao Wuxi first humbly asked “about Zudou”. He praised Confucius on the etiquette issue, which he was good at, and asked how to manage a dilapidated fief.

Confucius said: "The commoners, the rich, and the teaching."

First increase the population, then make the people rich, and after they become rich, they will understand etiquette and honor and disgrace through education.

Originally, before the governance of the central city, Confucius' thought was etiquette first, food and clothing second, but after he actually mastered the government of a city, his thinking began to change, and it became this more realistic "trilogy". ".

Although they didn't officially meet until yesterday, Zigong was a bit like an intermediary between Zhao Wuxi and Confucius. He not only preached Confucius' views to Zhao Wuxi, but also informed Confucius about some of Chengxiang's actions on the slips. The two already knew a little about some of the other's moves.

Among them, Zhao Wuxi's decree to encourage population increase in Chengxiang was greatly praised by Confucius, which coincides with the "concubine" of his trilogy of governance. But when I tried to follow suit, I was embarrassed to find that it was not easy for the people in Zhongdu to feed the current people. Every year, because of the encouragement of the population and the need to pay for the support of the orphans and children, the silk and corn could not be maintained. It is a sharp turn, and can only give up.

As for the latter, Confucius had no clue. Zigong, who was good at management, was not around, and Fan Chi, who was interested in agricultural technology, was also regarded by Confucius as a villain.

His perspective is still in the category where the ritual and music system determines everything, and he does not pay too much attention to technological improvement.

Therefore, although the reasoning is very good, in practice, the people of Confucius only have some experience in the "teaching" of the last item. Who made them start by educating?

Therefore, after Confucius finished speaking, he also said ashamedly: "Zhongdu has been ruled by Qiu for more than a year, but still can't be prostitutes, can't be rich, and there is only a little improvement in education, I'm really ashamed."

Zhao Wuxi said that his side was even worse~www.readwn.com~ If it's not miserable, how do you want someone?

"Compared to Gaoyu, Yuncheng, and even the towns around Qufu in Lucheng, Confucius has done a good enough job in China. The people return to the flowing water, and the four fields follow. On the contrary, it is Zhen Helin, who has just taken office. Qiu, I have just recovered from the war, and now a group of Lu people have poured in. I really don’t know how to manage it. I don’t even have officials who can speak the western dialect of Lu, and there are several disciples under Confucius. Hundreds, I hope I can get a few of them to help me, and I will definitely assign them to suitable positions.”

After Zhao Wuxi finished speaking, he sincerely bowed to Confucius.

Confucius didn't answer at first, and his thick tendrils couldn't see his expression. After a while, he asked, "Who does the doctor want to hire?"

Zhao Wuxi's eyes were bright: "Ziyou, can you make it into government?" (To be continued.)
